Sweet old couple

I had my 37 week check up today and thus had a baby sitter to watch the twins. I took advantage of this and in addition to my doc check I had a pedicure and met my husband out for lunch. Although I was in a slightly foul mood for still being pregnant when I met him, it was a very nice day.

First off, my appoint went well. All in all I'm very healthy and have no medical concerns. I actually lost a 1 lb and my bp was great at 100/60 (I was slightly upset with such a bp, since mine usually goes up right before I deliver). Anyways, doc said I was 3 cm and 80 % effaced, which she deemed as good progress but because I was not holding my sweet baby in my arms but rather in my uterus I saw it as poor progress. The doctor proceeded to tell me that I should go soon and she thought it would be a "very fast and easy delivery." I think she must mean for her.

However, the point of this post is actually what happened after the appointment when I met my husband for lunch at a cute local sandwich shop. I'm used to people staring and talking about my baby bump, but today I heard the best conversation An older couple was having lunch at the table beside us and here is what was said.....

Husband: "Look dear, when do you think that girl's baby is due?"
Wife: "Hum, well (pause) I would say momentarily."
